World of Coke 2012

Ready to go in!

We don't often get a family picture so I was thrilled to get this one. Their were several employees in the foyer who volunteered to take our family picture! How great is that!

M with one of the characters from the movie they showed.

B with the famous Coke Polar Bear.

There was this cool wall of surveillance before entering the vault where the secret formula is held. We had fun playing with the cameras!

I took a family picture using the mirrored ceiling! So fun!

The highlight of the day had to be the tasting of all the Cokes around the world.

Scot found one that was not to tasty! hhaha

M loving all the US coke combinations.

Awesome Coke Pop Art

Ready for the the 3-D movie

Just chillin'

Part of the Bottling System...it was so cool to watch!

They gave us a bottle of coke to take home. These were actually bottled there at the World of Coke.

I am so glad we got the chance to go...we had such a nice fun,family day!

Cherokee, NC

On our way through the mountains, we stopped in Cherokee to do a little Geo-caching. 

It had been raining earlier, but thankfully had stopped while we were driving down the mountain. It would have been a scary experience if the rain had not stopped! 

Cherokee was a neat little place. I only wish we had more time to see more of it.

Quick Stop in the Mountains

On our way home from OH, we spent the night in Gatlinburg. The next morning we stopped at a few places and even did a little geo-caching. There is so much to do there, but we didn't have a lot of time to explore the area like we all wanted to! We promised the kids we would come back again soon...maybe late summer??!!!?!

Here are a few pics to remember our quick trip.

Highlights from our OH Trip

Camp out at Aunt Tammy's house

Making Memories with Mammaw (They were making necklaces in this picture!)

OSU Stadium

On our way up to see Scot's family, Scot had planned a little stop along the way.

We went to see the Horseshoe. Of  course, many of you who are reading this, probably do not know where that is, but you know Scot and know how much of a Buckeye fan he really is. The horseshoe is the Buckeyes stadium. S and B are both buckeye fans too so you can imagine their delight that we were going to go see where their favorite team plays.

 They were able to get out on the field and play ball!

Scot scoring a touchdown :)

It was a lot of fun to see them so excited to be there and watch them playing on the field. Lots of memories made...isn't that what it is all about?

Our Ohio family

We  had a wonderful time going to Ohio to visit Scot's family. We don't get to see them often enough, but always have great time and make lots of memories when we finally are able to be together.

This is Scot's parents affectionately known as Mammaw and Pappaw.

This is e with Scot's sister, Tammy and Mammaw.

B with his cousin, Caleb.

Family Lake Trip 2011

Our family spent a few days at the lake and we had the BEST time!

The kids loved fishing even though the water was waaay down due to lack of rain in our area.

 S fishing with her cousin, Philip

S and her daddy

They caught a few things, but the memories made with cousins, both big and little, are greater than any mess of fish caught!

We ended the weekend doing a little geo-caching with my cousins, Philip and Cara and of course, little Lincoln.  This was his first geo-cache :)
